Luke AFB Thunderbolt – Digital and Print Publication for Luke AFB, serving the West Valley region of Phoenix, AZ. An AerotechNews.com Publication.
Hello, everyone and welcome to the November 2021 issue of Luke AFB Thunderbolt! Honorary commanders from Luke Air Force Base were witness to a demonstration of air power, in the skies over Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field in late October. Luke AFB’s Honorary Commander program provides an opportunity for community leaders to learn more about the wing’s mission and priorities, and to serve as advocates for our Airmen and their families. It’s one more way to share our mission, to train the world’s greatest fighter pilots and combat-ready Airmen! We have this story and much more news prepared for you, in this month’s issue of Luke AFB Thunderbolt.
